Digitalization and Industry 4.0
revolutionize the textile industry
in India and beyond
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 are two trends that can help
the textile industry overcome challenges such as supply
chain disruptions, climate change, and changing consumer
preferences. Digitalization refers to the integration of digital
technologies into business processes, while Industry 4.0
is the integration of digital technologies into all aspects of
manufacturing.
In the textile industry,
digitalization is
t r a n s f o r m i n g
m a n u f a c t u r i n g
processes through
automation and
data analytics.
Robotics and artificial
intelligence are optimizing production, while data analytics is
monitoring and improving various aspects of manufacturing.
Digitalization is also transforming the supply chain through
blockchain technology and digital platforms that facilitate
communication and collaboration between different players.
Industry 4.0 is creating smart factories in the textile industry
that are more efficient, flexible, and sustainable. Integration
of sensors and other IoT devices is optimizing production in
real-time, leading to higher yields and lower costs. Automation
is reducing labour costs, and intelligent systems are being
created by integrating automation technologies with machine
learning and predictive analytics.
India is at the forefront of both digitalization and Industry 4.0
in the textile industry. India is the second-largest manufacturer
of PPE in the world, and its textile industry is expected to reach
$250 billion by 2025. Indian researchers have developed an
innovative green technology called air nanobubbles that can
reduce water usage in the textile sector by up to 90 percent.

he textile industry is a
vital part of the global
economy, accounting for
trillions of dollars in annual
revenue. Despite its importance,
this industry is facing several
challenges that threaten its
sustainability, including supply
chain disruptions, climate change,
and the need to keep up with
changing consumer preferences.
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 are
two trends that could help the
textile industry overcome these
challenges and pave the way for a
more prosperous future.
Digitalization refers to the
integration of digital technologies
into business processes to
improve efficiency, productivity,
and competitiveness. In the textile
industry, digitalization can take
many forms, such as automation,
data analytics, and supply chain
management. The benefits of
digitalization are numerous and
far-reaching, from reducing costs
and waste to improving product
quality and customer experience.

India is a country that is at the
forefront of both digitalization
and Industry 4.0 in the textile
industry. India has become the
second-largest manufacturer
of personal protective
equipment (PPE) in the
world, with over 600 certified
companies producing PPEs
today. The country’s textile
industry is also expected to
reach a business size of $250
billion by 2025.

manufacturing process. Automation technologies such
as robotics and artificial intelligence are being used to
streamline and optimise production, leading to faster
turnaround times, higher yields, and lower costs.
Additionally, data analytics is being used to monitor
and optimize various aspects of the manufacturing
process, from raw material selection to finished
product quality control.
Another area where digitalisation is transforming
the textile industry is in the supply chain. Blockchain
technology, for example, is being used to increase
transparency and traceability in the supply chain,
allowingcompaniestoidentifyandaddressissuesmore
quickly and efficiently. Furthermore, digital platforms
are being developed to facilitate communication and
collaboration between different players in the supply
chain, from suppliers to manufacturers to retailers.
Industry 4.0 is another trend that is shaping the future
of the textile industry. Industry 4.0 refers to the fourth
industrial revolution, which is characterized by the
integration of digital technologies into all aspects of
manufacturing. Industry 4.0 encompasses a range
of technologies, such as the Internet of Things (IoT),
artificial Intelligence, and cloud computing, that are
transforming the way that goods are produced and
delivered.
In the textile industry, Industry 4.0 is being used to
create smart factories that are more efficient, flexible,
and sustainable. By integrating sensors and other IoT
devices into machines and equipment, manufacturers
can monitor and optimize production in real time,
leading to higher yields and lower costs. Furthermore,
the data generated by these devices can be used to
improve product quality and reduce waste.
Automation is another key aspect of Industry 4.0 in the
textile industry. By automating tasks such as material
handling, cutting, and stitching, manufacturers can
reduce labour costs and improve efficiency. Moreover,
by integrating automation technologies with other
Industry 4.0 technologies, such as machine learning
and predictive analytics, manufacturers can create
intelligent systems that can learn from data and
optimize performance over time.
India is a country that is at the forefront of both
digitalization and Industry 4.0 in the textile industry.
India has become the second-largest manufacturer of

Introduction:
Digitization involves integrating digital technologies
into the various aspects of an industry’s operations,
including production, supply chain management,
marketing, and customer engagement. This improves
efficiency, optimizes processes, and enhances
performance, creating a more efficient and adaptable
organization. By leveraging digital technologies,
companies can gain insights into customer behavior,
respond to customer demands, and continuously
improve product design to retain customer loyalty.
The G2G (Garment to Garment) manufacturing
business strategy is popular among leading fashion
brands in the international market. Countries like India
can partner with them to achieve circularity in textiles,
which can only be accomplished by recycling used
products repeatedly. However, the major issue with
G2G is the hygiene of used garments.
The process of converting used garments, trims, or
fabric waste into cloth/garment involves tearing and
openingthefibersfollowedbyyarns,fabrics,andfinally,
garments. If the fibers recycled from used garments
are converted into products where hygiene is not an
issue, then such products can be accepted without any
hesitation. In thecase G2G hygiene is a key issue, as
used garments may have been contaminated in various
ways. Cleaning and decontamination of waste is a must
before converting it into finished garments. Even if the
industry claims decontamination in its processes, it is
difficult to convince customers.
Digitization can be the solution to this issue.
Process of post-consumer G2G:
The post-consumer garment recycling process is a
rigorous exercise. The industry collects garments
from consumers of various regions in bundles,
without control over the source or type of garments.
Upon receipt, the garments are segregated according
to the recycling industry’s business model, based on
color, garment type, fiber composition, and more.
Non-textile materials such as buttons, trims, and
metal items are removed before the material is ready
for processing.

In the case of used garments, they are washed and
dried as the first step, and decontaminated for hygiene
purposes. Ozonation is the preferred method to
ensure protection against microbes and cross-infec-
tion issues for customers of these recycled garments.
The garments are then processed through cutting and
tearing machines to convert them into fiber. Strong
magnets in the tearing line remove any metallic
material from the fibrous mass.
The recycled fibers are blended with virgin or recycled
polyester fibers to produce yarn. Fabric is formed and
garments are made from these recycled materials.
Even garments out of 100%
recycled fibers are also possible.
The manufacturing processes may
vary depending on the company’s
business model, including the
yarn or fabric production, garment
design, and the type of processes
used.
Adoption of digitization in G2G
process:
Digitization plays a crucial role in
supporting the G2G sustainability business model,
particularly in the decontamination process and
monitoring. To ensure traceability, each lot of raw
material is coded during processing, and the code is
updated as it passes through each operation of the
garment waste to fiber conversion process, yarn and
fabric formation, and garmenting. The final updated
code is tagged to the garment or printed on a label
attached to it.
During the manufacturing process, product
specifications and processes are defined that outline
the desired characteristics of the product. A bill
of materials (BOM) is created that lists all the raw
materials and processes that will be used, and a plan
is developed that outlines the steps that will be taken
to manufacture the product, including quality control
checks. The manufacturing process is coded using
software that tracks the progress and ensures that
each step is completed according to the plan.
Automated process checks are built into the software
to ensure that the product passes through each
defined process, and the software generates the final
code in the desired format for tagging to that lot of the
garment. If any lot has missed the critical process of
decontamination, the finished product can be passed
again through the decontamination process to ensure
customer safety. The software will ensure that without
the material passing through the decontamination
machines the final code will not be generated. If the
decontamination is not in working condition, for any
reason, then also the code will not be updated, and the
final code is not printed. Similarly, unless decontam-
ination is done the verification of code by customer
would fail. Thus, digitization safeguards the health and
cleanliness of the customers.
The final coding is tagged or
printed on labels of every
garment, and customers can verify
the manufacturing processes
undergone by the garment by
scanning a QR code or by checking
the code online. By utilizing
digitization, companies can ensure
traceability, transparency, and
safety in their manufacturing
processes, ultimately supporting a sustainable and
circular fashion industry. Such digitized manufacturing
processes would enhance brand values of the
companies that work on G2G philosophy.
Conclusion:
Digitization can emerge as a game-changing solution
in the textile industry’s shift towards sustainability,
particularly in the realm of post-consumer garment
waste recycling. While the industry has been recycling
in-process and pre-consumer waste for a few decades,
thegrowingconcernaroundsoilanddeep-seapollution
caused by textile waste has led to the demand for
recycling post-consumer garment and textile waste.
In any business the companies will take interest only
if the product/process brings profit and/or value
to them. For the industry to adopt waste recycling
as a wealth-creating business rather than just an
environmental protection measure, it must add
significant value to the recycled products. The creation
of fresh garments from used garments is one such
avenue that offers a high-value addition compared to
other products. <<

of TMAS – the Swedish Textile Machinery
Association – at the ITMA 2023 exhibition in
Milan, Italy, from June 8-14.
“Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI),
machine learning and automation are becoming
increasingly important in the textile industry and
in Milan, Swedish companies will showcase new
machines and software that can help streamline
production and improve efficiency,” says TMAS
secretary general Therese Premler-Andersson.
In partnership with a number of other companies,
for example, ACG Kinna (Hall 9, stand C108)
drew considerable crowds to demonstrations of its
robotic pillow filling system at the last ITMA show
in 2019.
With the ability to fill and finish some 3,840 pillows
per eight-hour shift, automated units cover the
entire process – from the opening and weighing of
the fibre to the filling of the product and on to the
sewing and packing processes.
The system has been further developed to include
new features including an integrated marking
solution which allows the customer to print QR
codes, batch numbers and dates on the pillows’
labels, and a unique software for automatically
detecting pre-programmed faults which will be
introduced in Milan.

A textile sample is a piece of cloth or fabric designed to
represent a larger whole fabric. A small sample, usually
taken from existing fabric, is called a swatch, whilst a
larger sample, made as a trial to test print production
methods, is called a strike off. For plain-dyed fabrics it
is called a lab-dip, and for yarn-dyed fabrics (like stripes
and checks), it is called a handloom samples.
The use of swatches has formed an essential part of the
design process of textiles throughout different cultures
across history. Samples enable designers to display
different types of fabric, demonstrating how different
colours, materials, trims and methods of weaving will
look in real terms—something that may not be readily
apparent from a paper of digital design—before the
entire fabric is manufactured.
A textile manufacturer may bring together several
swatches of materials into a single sample book,
which may serve to enable a salesperson to display a
wide selection of fabrics to potential customers in a
convenient manner. A textile swatch book may also
serve as an internal reference for materials that have
been made previously and could be manufactured
again.

he blue thread moves on! Retech will present
various interesting innovations under the blue
thread theme and related to sustainability for heated
godets at the upcoming ITMA at Stand B108 in hall 1.
(Bild 1): Retech heated godet roll
Retech as expert in drawing your fibres to perfection
will be showing innovations in the following fields in
Milan.
• IoT in a modern heated godet
• New drive system for (super) slow speeds
• Special machine construction of drawing frames
and the making of the blue thread
Godet rolls are essential components in the production
of synthetic fibres. These heated, ambient or cooled
rolls help achieve the perfect yarn quality for a range
of materials and applications when it comes to heat
treatment for filament fibre applications. Retech godet
rolls have revolutionized synthetic fibre processing by
providing unique designs that allow for greater control
over temperature, fibre treatment and sustainability. In
addition to its innovative designs, Retech also focuses
on energy efficiency when it comes to motors and
heating equipment. This means all Retech products
use less energy than traditional systems—making
them more cost effective over time while achieving
excellent results.
Retech’s heated godet rolls are designed with two
challenging requirements in mind: applying exactly the
correct temperature for the material being produced;
and maintaining this level continuously throughout the
process. To do this, their designs incorporate energy
saving technology, using single-zone or multi-zone
heating via induction, infrared or resistance. This
ensures accuracy and precision when it comes to
surface temperature profiles - guaranteeing consistent
yarn quality every time. Retech also offers unbeatable
value when it comes to cost savings – thanks to its low
maintenance requirements meaning less downtime,
lifetime bearings meaning no additional lubrication
required. As well as its IoT ready monitoring feature
which protects against potential damage due to excess
temperatures or other issues. This allows producers to
produce higher yields at lower costs without risking
product integrity or safety issues down the line.
IoTs in a modern heated godet: How to achieve
sustainable heated godets?
In addition to the energy-saving motors and energy-op-
timised heaters already mentioned, a very important
part of the Retech godet concept is the long service
life and the associated permanent availability, thus
reducing machine downtimes and the production of
rejects. If a godet fails, there is immediately a great
loss, inconvenience and disruption to the production
process. Therefore, Retech has equipped its godets
with additional measuring elements in order to be
able to react preventively to possible damage and
subsequent failure. What options can Retech offer its
customers and what are the advantages?
Thanks to the sophisticated, innovative and proven
temperature measuring transmission system - UTR-6A,
which measures the temperatures in the rotating godet
and transmits the data to the temperature controller
Retech to Reveal its Many
Innovations

Pre ITMA

UCR-6 for processing without contact, it is possible to
take further measurements, collect data and evaluate
them. To protect the godet, the ongoing production
and ultimately the sustainability of the entire process
and the godet itself.
1. Induction temperature monitoring
By means of thermocouples, which are installed
in the induction heater per heating zone, the
temperature of the induction coil can be measured
and monitored. If the temperature exceeds a value
based on experience, the coil can be damaged
and the service life reduced. If this temperature is
exceeded, the system reacts with a warning and
simultaneously switches on a cooling function. The
operator now has the possibility to determine the
cause of the increased temperature and to eliminate
it.
2. Bearing temperature monitoring
If the bearing temperature exceeds a certain value,
the bearing life decreases rapidly. The high-tem-
perature grease decomposes and inevitably leads
to bearing damage and godet failure. This leads to
major expenses, downtimes and production losses.
Therefore, it is essential to monitor the bearing
temperatureandtodetectanddelayanapproaching
bearing damage at an early stage until the bearings
can be replaced as a precaution during planned
maintenance work. Thanks to the possibility of
installing, transmitting, displaying and evaluating
additional temperature sensors in the temperature
measurement transmission system below the
bearing points, Retech offers comprehensive
bearing failure prevention and monitoring, which
represents a great added value for the operators.
3. Vibration monitoring
In addition to too high temperatures, vibrations
can also damage a bearing and lead to bearing
failures. If excessive vibrations can be detected
and indicated, this would be a considerable added
value for operators. This would allow an early
and immediate reaction, and the cause of the
vibrations could be determined and eliminated. This
measurement has also been implemented in the
temperature measurement transmission system. At
the stator, the vibrations are measured, evaluated
via the temperature controller and excessive
vibrations are immediately communicated to the
operator.
(Bild 2): IoTs in a modern heated godet
Of course, all this additional information and
measurements are only really helpful if the operator
then also takes measures and eliminates the causes.
Depending on the process, the customer and his
wishes, Retech offers different levels of measures.
From a warning mode for a certain time to the
shutdown of the godet, there are various options that
are defined in detail with the customer. These new
possibilities for extending the service life of heated
godets are a milestone and a significant contribution
to sustainability and reduction of the CO2 footprint.
Today’s demands on godets are not only faster, bigger,
longer, which are required by the ever more advanced
manufacturing processes and materials. “Slow” can
also be a challenge. Certain processes require very
slow speeds. The production of carbon fibres is just
one of many examples in this field. Speeds of 0.1 -
10 m/min. can be a demanding task. To ensure that
such slow speeds with a ratio of 1 : 100 can also be
implemented in a stable manner, Retech has developed
a new drive system. A central point is the elimination
of the coupling that has been common in the industry
up to now, which connected the bearing, gear and
motor. With the godet generation presented at ITMA,
the bearing, the gearbox and the motor are one unit.
Depending on the requirements for speed, torque and
gearbox angular, a modular system is available, which
can be assembled according to the customer’s needs.
A highly interesting new product line that Retech can
present.

(Bild 3): New drive system – for (super) slow speeds
Retech’s godets represent a unique design that enables
customers to drive the draw roll allowing for very low
speed applications of only a few meters per minutes
or even per hour. This helps ensure top performance
regardless of how slowly the process needs to run.
As a highlight, Retech shows the making of the blue
thread. See live how this happens. By means of a
demonstration object, the mentioned news and
products can be seen live in action. All IoTs - vibration
measurements, bearing temperature display, induction
temperature measurement - will be shown. Also the
new drive system for slow-running godets. And as a
highlight, the innovative creation of the blue thread.
For this, Retech will show a modular drawing system,
which underlines the competence as a special solution
provider for R&D facilities, universities and speciality
manufacturers.
In addition to the 3 highlights mentioned above, Retech
will also be presenting other innovative products from
its range: the yarn tension sensors that have proved
quality for years, the proved air-bearing separator
rolls ..... true to the motto engineered and produced in
Switzerland, we welcome you to our stand B108 in Hall

increased efficiency, improved quality
and consistency of the finished
product, and reduced costs.
What is DTX-300?
Direct twisting involves twisting
together two or more ply
of yarn with a specific twist
level. Precision winding
involves winding the twisted
strand onto a spool or bobbin
with a specific tension and
winding pattern. By combining
these two steps into one, the
DTX-300 machine or process can
streamline the manufacturing
process and produce a high-quality
finished Yarn.
Why Precision Winding?
In precision winding, the yarn is wound
onto the package in a precise and consistent
manner, with a constant number of coils per
rotation of the package. This helps to ensure that
the yarn is wound evenly and consistently, which is
important for a variety of reasons.
One of the key features of precision winding is that
the winding angle decreases as the package diameter
increases. This helps to maintain a consistent winding
tension and prevents the yarn from becoming too
tightly or loosely wound.
Precision winding is typically achieved by using a
thread guide to displace the yarn as it is being wound
onto the package. which helps to ensure that the yarn
is wound in the desired pattern.
Advantages of Combining Twisting and Precision
Winding
Combining direct twisting and precision winding in one
step can provide several benefits in the production of
yarns. One benefit is that it can increase the efficiency
and speed of the production process.
By combining the two steps into one, the production
line can move more quickly and smoothly, reducing the
overall time required to produce the finished yarns.
Another benefit is that it can improve the quality and
consistency
of the
finished yarns. By
performing both steps
in one operation, there is less opportunity for errors
or variations to occur, resulting in more uniform and
reliable yarns.
Additionally, combining direct twisting and precision
winding into one step can also reduce the cost of
production, as it eliminates the need for additional
equipment or labour to perform the separate steps.
This can result in cost savings for the manufacturer.
Industries benefitting using DTX-300
Precision winding is particularly important for heavy
denier yarns like FIBC Big Bags, Industrial Yarns, Raffia
Twines, Sewing Threads, Cotton Twines, Baler Twines,
Agriculture Twines, Ropes, Cords, artificial grass,
technical textiles, etc
Variety of Yarns that can be produced on DTX-300
MEERA's DTX Series - direct twisting and precision
winding machine is designed to produce high-quality
yarns from a variety of materials, including PP tape,
raffia, multifilament, monofilament, and staple yarns.
This versatility makes the machine suitable for use in a
wide range of applications.

DTX-300 Technical Features
DTX-300 machine by MEERA can accommodate large
input packages with a diameter of 260 mm (10 inches)
or 300 mm (12 inches). It is also capable of handling
a wide range of denier, or fibre thickness, ranging
from 600 to 20,000, which may be beneficial for
manufacturing a variety of yarns.
In addition, the DTX-300 has a high-speed twisting and
winding capability of up to 400 meters per minute,
which may be useful for producing large quantities of
yarns quickly.
It also has a variety of takeup tube options, including
parallel cylindrical, conical, and tubeless, which may
allow for greater flexibility in the manufacturing
process. Finally, the DTX-300 also has the option
of an additional panel-controlled oiling device for

t ITMA 2023 in Milan from June 8-14 this year,
Monforts is organising two free-to-attend
seminars and discussions on the potential
of green hydrogen as a new energy source for textile
finishing, drying and related processes.
The seminars will take place at the company’s stand
B106 in Hall 18 on Friday June 9 at 11am, and Monday
June 12, also at 11am, and all are welcome.
Monforts is currently leading a consortium of industrial
partnersanduniversitiesinthethree-yearWasserSTOFF
project, launched in November 2022, that is exploring
all aspects of this exciting and fast-rising new industrial
energy option.
The target of the government-funded project is
to establish to what extent hydrogen can be used
in the future as an alternative heating source for
textile finishing processes. This will first involve tests
on laboratory equipment together with associated
partners and the results will then be transferred to a
stenter frame at the Monforts Advanced Technology
Center (ATC).
“Everybody knows that textile finishing is a high energy
consuming process,” says Monforts Managing Director
Gunnar Meyer.”To make this process more efficient,
Monforts already offers several solutions, but as a
technology leader we are also rising to the challenge
of exploring alternative heating options to be ready for
the future.”
Purity
To be considered “green”, hydrogen must be
produced using a zero-carbon process that is
powered by renewable energy sources such as wind
or solar. Currently, the cleanest method of hydrogen
production is electrolysis, using an electrically-pow-
ered electrolyzer to separate water molecules into
hydrogen and oxygen. The purity of the hydrogen is
also important, and impurities must be removed via a
separation process.
“Despite all its advantages, there are obstacles to
overcome on the way to widespread, economical-
ly-feasible green hydrogen use,” explains Monforts
Textile Technologies Engineer Jonas Beisel. “Until there
are widely available, reliable and economical sources
of this clean power, the cost of producing it will remain
prohibitive. The infrastructure is not yet there, and
hydrogen also has a tendency to make steel brittle and
subject to fracture, which is something that requires
further investigation in both its transportation and use
in industrial processing.
“Green energy’s potential as a clean fuel source is
tremendous, but there is much we need to explore
when considering its use in the textile finishing
processes carried out globally on our industry-leading
Montex stenter dryers and other machines.”
At its Advanced Technology Center (ATC) in Mönchen-
gladbach, Monforts will be carrying out intensive tests
and trials to assess the reliability of both processes and

final products when different natural gas and hydrogen
mixtures – up to 100% green hydrogen – are employed.
The results will be closely analysed by the consortium
partners because there are many parameters that at
this stage remain unknown.
The aim, Beisel adds, is to both reduce CO2 emissions
and–followingtherisingpricesandindustryturbulence
experienced by manufacturers over the past year or so
– to further reduce a dependency on natural gas.
The three-year Wasser STOFF project is sponsored by
Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and
Climate Action, and with Monforts at the helm brings
together industrial partners Pleva and NTB Nova Textil,
with academic input from the Hochschule Niederrhein
and the Technical University of Freiberg.
Invitation
“Do come and visit us during ITMA, to discuss not
just hydrogen, but all options for reducing the costs
of energy, as well as water and finishing chemicals
usage,” says Monforts marketing manager Nicole
Croonenbroek. “The current focus of the industry
is very much on cleaner processes to meet the
commitments on sustainability made by the major
fashion brands and we have developed many useful
solutions for helping our customers meet new market
demands since the last ITMA in 2019, which we’re
looking forward to discussing with you.”

Inspecting fabrics after weaving is old school. With USTER®
Q-BAR 2, smart weavers can pinpoint
defects during fabric formation. It’s the right way to reduce material losses and minimize manual
checks. When it comes to fabric quality issues, prevention is better than cure.
The whole fabric is automatically monitored – warp, weft, selvage and leno – and faults are
identified immediately. LEDs signal defect locations to the weaver, with information shown on
the control unit touchscreen. It’s automatic inspection, in-process and instant, so weavers can
react to prevent long-running or repeating faults.

Fabrics and composites
Since making its debut at ITMA 2019, Hudders-
field-based Optima 3D (Hall 6, stand A213) has installed
a significant number of its new 3D weaving machines
that drew such interest in Barcelona four years ago.
The company’s looms offer many advanced features
over conventional weaving machines, particularly in
versatility, as a result of the comprehensive use of
digital control systems allowing rapid parameter and
sequence changes, coupled with an innovative shuttle
system.
“Our aim from the start was to look at 3D weaving
machine technology with a fresh pair of eyes and
produce a machine that is simply better by design
and delivers real benefits to our customers,” says
managing director Steve Cooper. “The key interest in
this technology has been in producing new structures
from expensive fibres such as carbon into workable
structures, as the essential reinforcements for
composites.”
Composites production has also been a major area
of development for Northwich-based Cygnet Texkimp
(Hall 3, stand A107) which has developed an extensive
portfolio of technologies for handling fibres and yarns
like carbon and glass. The company’s latest launch is
a multi roll stack developed within the £40 million UK
Ascend programme led by Tier-1 aerospace supplier
GKN Aerospace. The stack enables high performance
prepreg and towpreg materials to be manufactured
more efficiently and sustainably without compromising
the accuracy of the product, speed, or consistency.
“This space-saving machine offers a way to
manufacture towpreg and prepreg materials quickly
and accurately while delivering considerable cost
and energy benefits,” explains Graeme Jones, wide
web product director at Cygnet Texkimp. “It is a more
sustainable and cost-effective way to process prepregs
which offers the potential for them to be used more
widely in high-volume and mainstream applications.”
Leeds-based Roaches International also works closely
with the composites sector, supplying a range of
autoclave and thermosetting technologies, in addition
to its wide range of well-known textile performance
testing instruments that are used by many leading
fashion brands. Roaches will be highlighting its design
and built of innovative machines which integrate
into existing manufacturing plants, such as the latest
vertical IR (infrared) bonding and chemical application
line which can process narrow width yarns or textiles
at up to 600 metres per minute on as many as six lanes.
Roaches will have its largest stand at ITMA to date this
year, at E302 in Hall 4.
Finishing
Cambridge-headquartered Alchemie Technology (Hall
7, stand D308) is the latest fast-rising company to join
the BTMA.
“With our Endeavour, waterless, low energy dyeing
and Novara, low energy textile finishing technologies,
we are disrupting manufacturing processes that
are responsible for over 3% of global CO2 emissions
and 20% of global water pollution,” says Alchemie
founder and CEO Dr Alan Hudd. “Our solutions both
dramatically reduce the environmental impact and the
cost of dyeing and finishing, which has proven to be a
compelling combination.”
Influence
“These are just a few examples of the textile machinery
innovation that’s coming out of the UK right now,” Kent
concludes. “It’s very exciting to see the accumulated
know-how of our member companies continuing to
exert a significant influence in advanced industries
such as aerospace and automotive, while leaving no
stone unturned in promoting environmental best
practices through adapting to the latest demands
of the market. BTMA companies have a lot more to
unveil at ITMA 2023 and everyone is looking forward
to fruitful demonstrations and discussions in Milan.”
